What happens when you login to inSing for the first time using Facebook Connect?

When you click login using Facebook, you will be presented a screen from Facebook to login into your account. If you have logged in to Facebook, you will need to accept an authorization request that allows inSing to post on your Facebook wall. When you post your reviews or like any inSing articles or events, it would also be posted on your Facebook wall.

Once you login via Facebook account, you will need to choose a display name and photo to set up your profile page on inSing.

There are three ways to set up your profile:

Use Facebook Display Name and Photo

Create an inSing Profile Display Name (if you do not wish to use your Facebook Display Name and Photo)

Link to an existing inSing Profile Display Name. (if you have an existing inSing account and wish to merge your existing profile with this profile)

You can disconnect your Facebook account either through Edit Profile page or Facebook.

If you do not have an inSing account, you will be prompted to register for an inSing account prior to disconnecting your inSing profile to your Facebook account. If you choose to not create an inSing account and disconnect your inSing profile from your Facebook account, your inSing profile will no longer be in the system.

I logged into inSing.com and I am prompted to enter a new email address to replace my username. Why do I have to do this?

We are upgrading to a more secure membership system for inSing.com. We'll need you to enter a valid email address for your account and this email address will serve as your future login ID. Notifications relating to your account will also be sent to this email address.

Merge Accounts

What is an inSing.com account?

inSing.com uses a centralized account system that lets users login to and conduct transactions/post reviews in all inSing.com channels, including HungryGoWhere.com and SuperDeals, without having to remember multiple sets of login information.

You will need a valid email address that we can contact you at, a display name you would like to be associated with on inSing.com (a minimum of 6 characters) and provide a password (minimum of 8 characters with at least 2 numbers) for your account.For existing inSIng.com users, we will use your nickname as your display name and require you to provide us with a valid email address, if you haven't already done so.

Why do I need to merge my HungryGoWhere account with an inSing.com account?

As HungryGoWhere moves to be a part of inSing.com, we will be revamping the website and would need your assistance to convert your HungryGoWhere account into aninSing.com account, or merge it with an existing inSing.com account, so your reviews, photos and other great submissions will remain accessible to you in the new website. Your new inSing.com account will also enable you to sign into other parts of inSing.com (events, news, shopping) so you can better explore the best of the rest of Singapore.

Due to terms in our privacy policy, HungryGoWhere does not, and still will not, store your account password in our database. We can only recognize if the same password is entered (you can read all about this cool function in this Wikipedia article) thus would need your help to log into your account and update it with a new inSing.com/HungryGoWhere password.

To merge your accounts, sign into the account you would like to keep and follow the prompts displayed on screen. Rest assured that the process will be secure, guided and only needs to be done once. After the merge, any reviews, bookmarks and photos you previously submitted will automatically be populated under the new inSing.com.

When merging your accounts, you should expect to submit a new password (minimum of 8 characters with at least 2 numbers) and provide us with a valid email address, if you haven't already done so. This email address should be unique and not be tied to any existing inSing.com or HungryGoWhere account.

After merging, the account you signed into first will be your new inSing.com account. All your reviews, bookmarks and photos stored under both accounts will now be stored under your new inSing.com account.

No, you can only use the login ID you were logged into first for the merging process.e.g. If I have accounts under two email addresses - abc@hgw.com and xyz@singtel.com - and wish to use abc@hgw.com as my login in future, I should sign into my account for abc@hgw.com and follow the steps on screen to merge it with my xyz@singtel.com account.

Yes, you may do so by signing into the account with the login ID you wish to keep, before following the steps on screen to merge it with your secondary account.
e.g. If I have accounts under two email addresses - abc@hgw.com and xyz@singtel.com - and wish to use abc@hgw.com as my login in future, I should log into my account forabc@hgw.com and follow the steps on screen to merge it with my xyz@singtel.com account.

Why does the merging system ask me to unlink my secondary Facebook account?

The new inSIng.com account can only be linked to ONE Facebook account. If you encountered an error saying that the accounts you are trying to merge are linked to two separate Facebook accounts, please cancel the merge process and log out of all accounts. Sign in to the account linked to the Facebook account you DO NOT wish to keep and unlink it from Facebook under the Profile Settings page. Then log out and sign into the account you wish to keep before start the merging process again.

An error occurred when I tried to merge my accounts, what do I do now?

If an unexpected error occurred during the merge process, you will be notified on screen to contact us at customercare@insing.com so our team can assist you in the merge process. Do not worry, all your reviews, photos and bookmarks on both accounts will remain intact, and we do apologize for the bump into this otherwise simple merge process.

Reviews

What's the user review function all about?

Reviews are an important part of inSing, as it lets members share their experiences of businesses. People generally prefer to get recommendations about goods and services they're shopping for and this is a great way to get personal recommendations online.

Businesses can also benefit from the ratings and reviews system. A good review can help a business stand out from the competition and win customers. Even an average review can help a business learn more about their customers' needs.

First, you need to sign in, then search for the business you want to write about. Doing a search using the business name is the quickest way to find a listing. Just look for the 'Write a Review' button prominently displayed on the page. You'll then be directed to a page where you can write a review and give a rating out of five marks (half marks are allowed). There's a limit of 1,000 characters per review.

We realise not all experiences are going to be positive and would like reviews to be balanced. While we do allow negative reviews, we ask that they be truthful and fair. Nothing defamatory or abusive should be posted. Stick to the relevant facts as to why the experience was unsatisfactory. The more details and facts you provide, the more helpful it is to the relevant business and users.

Yes, as long as you disclose your relationship with the business in the review. Personal and professional connections to a business can understandably alter the reviewer's perspective. By being open and honest about this relationship, you ensure that your review is trustworthy.

There are a range of products provided by inSing to help you build your business on the internet. To find out more about what we can do for you, please email advertising@insing.com and we'll get back to you in 3 working days.
